The first 200 lines.
I have no desire to harm a child.
But if I must, no objection.
No, no.
Um, we're going in here. In here.
For the next couple days, Sophie's in charge.
You do exactly as she says.
Their daughter?
Their daughter.
Don't go after the girl.
There's a voice memo from Tali.
Mom, Dad, there are strange men in the house.
No, no, there's no time, let's go.
You two take the car and go get Tali.
Go.
Is this where we live now?
While we're on vacation, yes. Isn't it nice?
It looks old and full of spiders.
Okay, it's a little, uh, rainy, so go inside.
I did not say a word.
Although, when you said you wanted to plan a little getaway,
I have to admit this is not what I imagined.
Well, what did you think I meant
when I said "a little cabin in the woods"?
Cute A-frame boutique hotel with a spa
and a Michelin restaurant.
Not a kingdom of spiders.
I'm just saying,
it may not be a great place for a seven-year-old.
Oh, that's precisely the point. No distractions.
Quality time and all the...
-No! No! -Oh, my God!
-Are you okay? -What the hell is this place?
Why is Daddy so mad?
He's not mad, he's just...
he's tired, honey.
Why don't you go look around, huh?
It didn't occur to you to tell me
we were coming to one of your safe houses?
I'm sorry, I thought I cleared it.
I obviously missed a gun.
A gun my daughter found.
Our daughter!
It'll be fine. I'll talk to her.
My father taught me to shoot at her age.
You want to teach a seven-year-old how to shoot?
Of course not. I just meant to say...
Look, I, I remember what my father told me
-when I was her age and... -Your father trained you to be a soldier.
We're not doing that with Tali.
Don't you think I know that?
Don't you think that we should be better parents
than the ones that raised us?
Because why would we want her to be anything like me?
Ziva.
How is it? Everything you remember?
Worse.
That's the spirit.
So, a few ground rules.
No Internet. No contacting friends.
Just laying low and pretending like we don't exist.
I knew you could handle this.
I know we just left Paris,
and Mom and Dad'll need a beat to sort things out,
but how long do you think we'll be here?
Not long. Your parents know what they're doing.
No!
-No! -Oh, my God!
Yeah. Sure they do.
Finally. Reception here is atrocious.
Hi. How are you?
How's Tali?
-Fine! -As long as she's got
her games, things should stay that way.
Bless electronics.
The one true nanny.
Claudette.
How long do you think it'll take for Mom and Dad to fix things?
I have a black belt test next week.
Not long. Your parents are pro.
-What's wrong? -I'll call you back.
That was weird.
Are you sure that thing's not online?
Can't be when the house doesn't have Internet.
Do you have a USB-C cable?
Isn't that one in your hand?
This a mini USB cable.
Those words mean nothing to me. Juice?
Tomato? Ew, no. Where's your bag?
You probably packed one to charge something.
All I have is that brick Claudette gave me.
Can we go get one, then?
To the electronics store?
I'd have to get the car, and that's only for emergencies.
We can be quick. No one will know.
Tali, in case you haven't noticed,
we don't look related,
which makes us very identifiable for CCTV,
so, no, we can't.
I don't have my iPad.
I can't go online or call my friends or play my game.
What can I do?
Look around.
There must be something that interests you.
Sophie, come outside. Quick.
What's wrong?
Bon anniversaire!
Oh, wow.
Thank you. Come.
Aw... thank you so much.
Oh, look, look.
Watch out for the rabbit holes, but...
You made a cake?
I'm really touched.
Thank you. It's beautiful.
It's your birthday. And you haven't heard
from your girlfriend. I thought a cake would help.
You knew about me and Claudette?
Was it supposed to be a secret?
Um, well, not so much a secret as much as we hadn't
really told your parents yet.
Oh, no, no, no!
Why are there so many?
There must be a nest somewhere. Come, come.
Let's, uh, let's go inside.
Um, best to shut the windows. Do you want to get that one?
Yeah.
Oh!
-No. Do you see what you did? -You have to go up.
-I can't go up. I can't go up. -L...
-Ooh! -Left, left, left.
-Right, right, right. -Up, up, up.
Ugh, I should've gone left.
Remember Tetris?
We said no more screen time.
But it's vacation.
Well, the point of being here is precisely that.
I know, but we are with family.
Dinner's ready in ten.
Is Imma mad?
Oh...
What makes you think she's mad?
You yelled at her when you were mad.
Well, I wasn't really mad at her.
I was more...
upset by the situation.
You know what your grandpa told me once?
He said,
"When life gets hard... and it will get hard..."
"...you have to remember..."
"'Ohanameans family, and family means..."
"No one gets left behind."
Yes.
-One more game? -Sure.
Okay. And I'll go left.
We're so sorry you're stuck there.
We know how hard it's been.
This will be over very soon.
We will be back together, kiddo.
When?
Soon.
Wait. Where are you? What are you doing?
Why does it look like you're at a wedding?
-Uh... -It's a little complicated.
-It is, honey, we... and we have to go. -And really not what you think.
So we'll call you again first chance we get, Tali.
Don't you worry about us.
We love you so much.
-But... -Love you. -Okay?
Hey. I was just about to check on you.
How do you use the washing machine?
Why do you need to use, um...
Did you start?
You're really not a kid, are you?
I looked for pads, but I couldn't find any.
Really? Um, surely your mum's put some somewhere in the loo.
I looked.
Um, well, I have period pants.
Ew, no. I am not wearing your underwear.
No. Of course not. I'm sorry. I'll go to the shop.
What do you, uh... Mm...
Should I just get you a whole bunch of stuff? Yeah.
Just put the sheets in the basket,
and I'll deal with them later.
-Feeling better? -Much. Tampons save lives.
So you went with the tampons? Um...
Did you have any trouble with them?
Because I did at your age, so if you have any questions...
-Ew, no. Stop talking. -Okay.
Um, so you've, uh,
already had this conversation with your mum?
Yes.
Okay.
Where did you get that book?
The house.
Think they were Mom's.
Interesting what people read when they don't have Internet.
Suddenly see the problem with telling you
to find ways to entertain yourself.
What's a "quivering bosom"?
I'll let your mum cover that. Good chat.
